if you want to believe that pablum - go for it
the radio system will fail bigly - dispatchers are not duplex - backup
systems are never tested - primary channels probably have dead spots
thrughout town - no one ever tests for dead spots - especially from a
prone position - radio operating procedures are haphazard
no units carry tourniquets or blood clot kits
cops have no experience - they will shoot themselves or each other
with machine guns
there is no MCI trailer - Mass Casualty Incident
hazmat team will take 1 hour to respond - vs Cambridge hazmat which
can respond in 10 minutes
SWAT team will take - ? 2 hours to respond
there are never disaster drills
Arlington FD has not raised an aerial at my building in 20 years - we
are a 14 story highrise with 150 disabled residents
no one offers free CPR training nor trauma training
paramedics have been using a broken radio for the last year - it
transmits static 50% of the time
medics have 100 hours of training vs Seattle medics whch have 2000
hours of training
'if the 911 center is funded for 10 disatchers why do i never hear
more than 8 dipatchers on the radio?
when was the last time anyone released any response time statistics in
Arlington? or any save statistics?
==============================================
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE
LETS ADD THE GOOD STUFF RIGHT HERE - 11/7/2017 - 205 PM

Seattle area saves 2 to 3 times more cardiac arrest victims than other
cities - per page 3 of 69
This is a 69 page report chock full of interesting stuff
================================================
dispatchers have zero experience in dealing with disasters - then can
barely deal with parking complaints or barking dog calls
when was the last time a medevac helo landed in Arlington? 20 years ago?
when was the last time that AFD had any Jaws of Life training? or
actually used the Jaws at a serious incident? 5 years? 10 years?
when was the last time that AFD had any plane crash training?
why is AFD so inpatient on the radio? there are only 2 dispatchers on duty
why is the new opticom system so crappy? yesterday the rte 60 opticom
did not activate for Rescue 1 till they were at the Bank of America -
which is only 100 feet from the intersection
does anyone ever inspect the assembly places in Arlington when they
are occupied? Knights of Columbus? Sons of Italy? etc
why are the medics always 1 or 2 minutes behind the Rescue? anywhere
in town - even right at Armstrong HQ
Does anyone in APD or AFD have any real world experience dealing with
real serious emergencys? Like a real shootout or hostage taking. Or a
serious fire in a critical building (like a fully occupied school)
Note - you can substitute ANYTOWN for ARLINGTON in 90% of this
BTW - who the hell is the 911 Center Manager? You can go thru 20 years
of Town Reports and not come up with any names. Totally bizarre.
Random drug tests for all town employees - really random - more for
police and fire than others - but needed for all - even teachers -
police and fire should probably be tested monthly or bimonthly
